Wow, thanks for the amazing post! This honestly makes me feel a lot more excited about potentially coming out there. I am definitely a tech enthusiast, but unfortunately I don't have a whole lot of good technical experience in the field. One of the positions I applied for out there was an administrative position at the Google campus in Kirkland, though! Any advice on what neighborhoods I should be looking at for a place to rent? So far I've been looking at Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, Fremont, and Ballard. Housing in the University area district definitely seems to be the cheapest, though. I'd like to live in a fun area with nightlife, etc. but I don't have a whole lot to spend. Could definitely make do with a small studio.Valve's here. Microsoft's here. Amazon's here. If you've got an interest/career path in the tech field, Seattle is the motherfucking place to be.
